The health and safety of our guests is our top concern. All classes are currently suspended. Mazopiya’s deli is open, but dine-in options including the self-serve drip coffee station and the deli soup bar are closed. To-go food options from the deli hot bar are still available however, as are Mazopiya Express items and Heat & Eat items. We will be reserving the first hour of shopping each weekday for our more vulnerable guests—such as the elderly and those with underlying health conditions. As a safety precaution, Mazopiya will no longer be accepting any returns on products purchased from the store. We request that the use of reusable bags be temporarily discontinued.
